STOP HIDDEN ATTACK PATHS
Transcend compliance needs and stop toxic combinations
AI-powered attacks exploit vulnerabilities faster than existing compliance standards allow. Fix hidden attack paths with compound risk metrics.
92%
believe growing IT complexity increases the threat of toxic combinations, putting high-value assets at risk.
82%
of CISOs believe AI will amplify the challenge of toxic combinations.
70%
of security leaders feel there are too many unknowns to have a clear picture of cybersecurity risk.
Challenge
Threat actors exploit weaknesses and security teams are unable to respond fast enough.
The average time to exploit has fallen to just five days. Attackers now move quietly across security areas, avoiding detection.
Yet industry standards still have teams targeting 30-day remediation processes to maintain compliance.
With the rise in AI attacks, even best-practice remediation within 14 days is no longer enough. Traditional vulnerability management is failing. Instead, security teams must shift from compliance-driven remediation to risk-based prioritization.
Solution
Rapid and automated identification of exploitable vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
Identify and manage toxic combinations across multiple cybersecurity domains with compound risk metrics and Continuous Controls Monitoring.
By correlating control failures with your most critical business assets, you can quickly close control gaps that could be exploited.
When remediation isn’t possible, Panaseer can measure how well your compensating controls mitigate your most pressing risks.
Panaseer’s compound risk metrics empower you and your team to prioritize and track remediation in a proactive, threat-driven approach.
Stop toxic combinations before they escalate
Toxic combinations create elevated security risks. These occur when multiple risks combine on the same asset to create a problem that needs to be fixed immediately.
Imagine you’ve got an employee who:
- has admin access;
- using a laptop with an exploitable vulnerability;
- and has recently failed a phishing test.
These weaknesses together create a high-risk, toxic combination.
While these vulnerabilities are risky on their own, if they exist in combination – the risk amplifies. These risks can be easily exploited by threat actors and can be extremely difficult to identify and manage in your environment.
Benefits of eliminating toxic combinations
Break attack paths
Automatically uncover hidden risks from across multiple domains before they are exploited by AI-powered attackers.
Focus on the highest risks
Take the right action before it’s too late with a near real-time view of your riskiest weaknesses.
Improve operational resilience
Shift from compliance-driven remediation to risk-based prioritization and better protect your most critical data and assets.
Measure compensating controls
Understand the effectiveness of compensating controls to cover known control gaps and keep your most critical assets secure.
Panaseer's compound risk metrics
Impossible to find with just manual analysis alone, compound risk metrics surface hidden attack paths using near real-time insights from across multiple cyber control domains.
This video shows how to detect ‘toxic combinations’ of cybersecurity risks in the Panaseer platform. Compound risk metrics are just one of five types of metrics available on the platform.
